3DS (videos)

Rodea: The Sky Soldier looks beautiful on the Wii U and this new Japanese trailer proves the 3DS version isn't to be scoffed at. This aerial combat game has been in development for around five years at Prope, the studio...

Please cut a longer trailer, Namco. Arc System Works' (Guilty Gear) upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is the best thing to hit DBZ videogames since this unsanctioned 2D fan fighter.
But damn, I just want to see more of...

Last night I ventured out to see if I could aquire golden Mario amiibo from Walmart as well as the Mario Party 10 bundle with the normal Mario amiibo live on our Twitch channel. It was a thrill ride that most of yo...

The first time I booted up my Dreamcast with The House of the Dead 2, I believe it was, I thought the machine was broken. I'd ordered it along with a bundle of used games and controllers on eBay, so that was a real possibili...

The new trailer for LEGO Jurassic World really knows how to get me super pumped for a Jurassic Park game. It features several scenes from the 1993 movie animated in the LEGO style. Everything from the T. Rex chase scene, to ...

When we last checked in with Samus, she was trying to score an interview with Tim Rogers, co-creator of Videoball. Despite the fact that she's been appearing in videogames for over 25 years, he still didn't know who she was....

Once upon a time, XSEED seemed pretty cagey about publishing the Senran Kagura games. Nowadays the plucky localization studio can't seem to bring the danged things over fast enough.
Yes, you probably read the headline where ...

Nintendo has dropped a new trailer for next month's Xenoblade Chronicles 3D entitled "Heir to the Monado." It features a flashback to when Shulk acquired the mythical sword Monado as well as a few cinematics and battle scene...

The credits for The Legend of Legacy read like a who's who of JRPGs, from the composer of Final Fantasy XIII to the writer of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. While the game is eye and ear candy, it is brutally unforgiving i...

Oh hello Destructoid! Its your old beard buddy Jed here, and I guess I'm officially part of the Dtoid team now. Are you proud yet dad!? This time on Beard View we're taking a look at Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2, the Vocalo...

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, the exciting new collaboration between Nintendo and GungHo Online, is coming west this May and I really couldn't be more excited. As a longtime "Pazudora" addict, it's somethi...

NIS America just revealed plans to localize Rodea: The Sky Soldier for North America and Europe. Expect to see the aerial action game hit Nintendo 3DS and Wii U sometime this autumn.
Rodea has an interesting development hist...

Based on all of the happy pictures I saw of people getting their shiny new Majora 3DS and Majora's Mask collectors editions, I'm thinking a lot of people have been playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D this past week...

[Update: Master0fHyrule made an updated video featuring several moves that were left out of the original, including a really cool Zelda attack.]
YouTuber Master0fHyrule compiled a video of almost every attack that the Villag...

The anniversary of Honest Abe's birth was four days ago, but, like Fiddy, we don't give a f*ck it's not his birthday. We're partyin' now, and we're similarly celebrating every Commander in Chief's tenure.
Maybe that's why Li...

Pokémon Shuffle is a thing, and it's set to arrive on the 3DS this week in Japan as a spiritual successor to the puzzler Pokémon Trozei. It's also free-to-play.
Details have arisen from the official Japane...

[Update: It's fake, as shown in the video above. While it's nice to have a detailed explanation on how this fake was made, what I really want is a detailed explanation on why it was made, preferably with sideline psycho...

Majora's Mask 3D is out today. Did you buy it? You should probably buy it. You know, if you want.
It's the same (well, maybe a tad different) great game from back in the day, but with a few notable additions, like fishing ho...

Ah, that smooth, buttery voice. Those luscious harmonies. That pixelated plaid shirt. That is our friend (and former Editor-in-Chief) Dale North. He has taken the default lyrics to the ballad "Maybe, Baby" in Tomodachi Life ...

If there's one videogame trope that I'm a sucker for, it's floating islands. It's part of the reason why I love Jumping Flash! 2 and Skies of Arcadia, and it's the same reason why I think Rodea: The Sky Soldier looks am...

I was worried about Yo-Kai Watch when it was first announced. Putting out a manga, anime and game series all in one fell swoop is no small financial undertaking. Given that Level-5 isn't a multi-billion dollar outfit, they h...

It sure feels like we're saying this a lot lately, but hunting season's upon us. This time, it's the enormous beasts of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate that need to be slain. We're not shooting for "tranq and peacefully reloc...

Want to see how Xenoblade Chronicles 3D stacks up to the original Wii version?
Nintendo World Report is on the case, providing a side-by-side video of each iteration. While the 3DS port looks slightly worse, I have to s...

Since the New 3DS is almost out, a lot of us are probably wondering how to copy over data from the old system -- both on-board data and save files on the SD card.
The caveat this time around is that you'll need a #0 Philips ...

February 13 is a huge day for Nintendo. In addition to some amiibo launches, you'll also be able to pick up a New 3DS, Majora's Mask 3D, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and now, IronFall: Invasion in Europe. The latter is ba...

I'm glad that The Denpa Men franchise is still around. While it wasn't the best set of games on the already crowded 3DS eShop, it was a cute enough series, and I would like to see the little guys live on in some form. It loo...

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D arrives in North America starting April 10, Nintendo revealed today. The company also reconfirmed the title's European launch date, April 2.
The role-playing game is the first New Nintendo 3DS exclusi...

What do you get when you mix Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon series? Etrian Mystery Dungeon of course!
With development handled by dungeon master Spike Chunsoft, the new 3DS game will bring in that clas...

The first Persona 5 trailer is out and the internet is abuzz about where one of the world's most fashionable JRPG series may be headed. It's a perfect time to take a look at one of the founding titles in the JRPG sub-genre; ...

Chris asked me to fill in for him this morning, if only for a single post, so I figured I'd do exactly that not with amiibo coverage, but with this Super Smash Bros. glitch in which tomatoes have run amok. Somehow, something...

"Imagine playing as the ominous LEGO T. rex, roaming the grounds of Isla Nublar, smashing LEGO bricks and battling with other dinosaurs -- this game is bound to bring out the kid in all of us," says TT Games managing direc...

Our beard buddy Jed is back with another look at a game you may have heard of, but probably haven't played. This time we have Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind, the Japaneses 3DS exclusive based on the popular anime...

Some people make it a hobby to find out everything they can about a game, inside and out, and these data miners have been poring over the code of Super Smash Bros. since release. Over the last couple of months, bits an...

Nintendo is a little bit useless when it comes to putting games out on the Virtual Console in a timely manner, that in and of itself is certainly not news. Since the company started dabbling with downloadable retro software ...

When Nintendo announced the New Super Mario Bros. version of Puzzle & Dragons for the 3DS, reports came in that their stock values skyrocketed. Puzzle & Dragons is a huge hit on mobile devices in Japan, much like Can...

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call was a joy to play. It was absolutely packed with content, so the fact that DLC has been steadily dropping since launch hasn't bothered me -- all in all, it's one of the biggest rhythm ...

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is out on February 13, 2015. I've completed it, and our review will come in February. I know, I know, but at least you'll get a pre-launch review, right?!
This new video from Nintendo sh...

Last November, Nintendo talked a little about rethinking their policies of region locking. Seems like common sense to me. The gains they'd make in consumer goodwill by allowing a few games to more easily make it overseas wou...

Nintendo sure has hit the marketing hard for Majora's Mask 3D in the few days since its wildly popular Direct. It seems like the 3DS remake has been everywhere lately. There's just under a month to go until release, and it remains to be seen whether there's enough steam to push the hype train at full power for that long. Final stop: Termina.

After a Nintendo press event yesterday, I was sent home with a review unit of the New Nintendo 3DS XL. I figured it would be a good idea to record my opening of it so that I could share my trademarked cynical indignation wit...

Etrian Mystery Dungeon will arrive in North America on April 7, Atlus USA announced today.
The project is a collaboration between Atlus and Spike Chunsoft, pairing the character classes and skill trees of Etrian Odyssey with Mystery Dungeon's exploratory roguelike design.
Atlus plans to include a bonus soundtrack disc with all pre-orders and first-run copies of the game.

During Japan's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced there would be a new Rhythm Heaven game for 3DS this year. It will feature over a hundred minigames, 70 of which comes from past entries in the series, 30 of which are new.
It's coming to Japan this summer. Hopefully we get word of a North American release.
Hopefully this makes it in:

Have you managed to secure a fancy Majora's Mask New 3DS XL, but want to know what to expect from the remake? Don't worry; Nintendo of Japan has your back.
In this 16-minute video, we get to see early game day one ...

Doozy of a Nintendo Direct today. Watch it above in full, or see our coverage below in summation, with all the key trailers rounded up. Highlights include: New Nintendo 3DS (just XL) release date and price, a special Ma...

Nintendo has announced that Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. will have amiibo support when it arrives on March 13 on the 3DS. Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina are in, and they become playable characters in the game if you happen...

Good news, everyone! Nintendo announced a new entry in the Fire Emblem series today.
The strategy role-playing game is in development for Nintendo 3DS at Intelligent Systems. As was the case with Fire Emblem: Awakening,...

Nintendo has elaborated a bit on its partnership with the Puzzle & Dragons team, as well as the localization information for this year. Puzzle & Dragons Z and the new Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition will be bundled together for 3DS.
The Mario version will have a traditional world map feature. It will arrive in May 2015.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse recently launched on the Wii U eShop, and while I haven't played through the whole thing yet, I can attest to the consistently charming comedy in its first few hours or so. It's clear that the ...

Leave it to Mario and co. to get me interested in the Japanese mobile sensation Puzzle & Dragons. I mean, that Fist of the North Star tie-in had my curiosity, but not like this.
Nintendo and GungHo Online are bringing Pu...
